Alternative Energy Resources Organization

Food systems programming: with a producer-centric focus, we help montana communities build place-based, robust, sustainable food systems with climate-healthy solutions. The montana food economy initiative(mfei): aero is coordinating community stakeholders in conducting their own 18-month food system assessments in helena, billings and the fort belknap reservation. Aero is an active contributor to the grow mt food policy coalition, advocating fro growing a resilient and relaible montana food system that feeds all montanans.

Network weaving & education: key to aero's success in developing community leaders and inspiring community models for sustainable, climate-healthy agriculture, food systems, and energy across the state is bringing people together to learn from one another through workshops, panel discussions, webinars and community gatherings designed to promote learning and knowledge-building, connection, networks, resource-sharing, problem-solving and finding common ground. Aero's annual expo brings together montanans committed to the culture of stewardship to share ideas, make enduring connections, and find sensible, lasting, people-oriented solutions to food and energy issues.
